Recovery of property lost due to fraud
Dear sir,
One of my friend promised me to get a job in Dubai and demanded for money and my degree. After arrangement of money I agree to pay 80K and sent my degree through courier.
I paid 20000 directly in his Indian IDBI bank account and rest of 60000 by cheque in his same account in the month of march 2016. I have all whatsapp chat conversation and voice message from his Dubai no.
Now he has shown his actual face and I came to know that I was traped.
Is there any way to recover my amount from them?
Thanks and regard
Mohammed jahangir
Sorry to hear about your situation.

In accordance with Article 82 of the UAE Penal Code, the court may, upon issuing a conviction for a crime or misdemeanor, confiscate the things seized as a result of the crime, or which have been used or intended to be used in the crime.
